One, why are there so many people allowed up at the starting line? Is this not dangerous? Two, why do all the door cars pass the lights during the burn outs? Any place else I have raced, unless its a blown alcohol door car, your DQ'd if you break the beams...

I have never evn been close to a 5 anything, let alone a 4s pass. And if money is chaning hands, I would think behind the guard rail would be safer.

I actually consider Cecil my home track as I like to race there since my brother only lives a few miles from there. And since I drive to the track its a close place to tow my car if I break. But I dont go to that race as I prefer the NSS racing much better but thats because I love the 60's SS cars. Most of them use power adders and are very fast. My buddy races a Duster in the 10.0 class as its a mid 10 car NA and high 9's with a 100 shot. Ron Last edited by 383man; 09/03/13 03:23 PM.

A 526 hemi with a screw blower many not(was not) be enough for a low et at this race. I ran my car this year in a pro tree bracket and will go back again.

At least, that's how it looked to me when I was watching it on the live feed. The announcer was even saying something in regards to almost every car as to what power adder they were running and that's when I think I picked up on the burnout thing.

Slowest thing at the track , I think. Greatest race in the states, if your car fit's into a class. Unreal what these guys are doing with small tires. I love it. Defbob was there with ROBR all weekend. MY slowness..Click the pic for video. I tried racing the Zamboni, but he had 3 kits of NOS !!! Join the quickest team in motorsports. Team FireCore.

You should come to Lancaster on a Tuesday night, there is a blue mustang running 5.14s and not even making a full pass , And there was another one that couldn't make a full pass running almost as fast tonight.

It has a fresh eng that he just put the first passes on it last week. Ron Last edited by 383man; 09/04/13 01:47 AM.
